My Name is
Negassa
Negassa
Negassa's mother died in 2008, and his father abandoned him soon after her death. He was living with his grandmother who, though she tried, could not care for his basic needs. Negassa was approved by social welfare services and was brought to the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2009. Shortly after arriving, Negassa could be seen with a big smile on his face. Negassa is a peacemaker. God has gifted him in helping others settle their disputes. His favorite Scripture verse is Proverbs 16 because it teaches him to be wise.
